pls stop gen 1 pandering pls

>gen 1 pandering
>when each gen is represented

anti-genwunners prove themselves retarded yet again!

>>32043247
Oh no, OP, this is much worse. This is anime pandering.

>literally every gen
>muh gen 1 pandering

Why do they continue to use two different character design models for pikachu? It's got an anime head in the games and anime, but the promo art KEEPS having circle head pikachu, even when it's promoting shit for the main line games like this.

>>32043247

But this is fanservice for every gen except Gen 2 (because Ash didn't change his outfit for Johto)

is this from corocoro?, what does it says?

more like stop this anime pandering REEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's the anime's 20th anniversary, Anon.

Much like how last year was about celebrating the games's 20th anniversary, this year will be about celebrating the anime's 20th anniversary.

>>32043413
then the anime should celebrate not the games

Ash-Krookodile when

>>32043423

It is.

SM's upcoming 20th episode is a celebration of the anime's 20th anniversary, as is the upcoming 20th movie.

This is just cross-promotion.

>>32043247
I like how the art seems to show how Pikachu evolved in the anime:
>Happy and childish Pikachu in Gen 1 and 2
>Happy, but more serious in Gen 3
>Badass Pikachu in Gen 4
>Less badass than Gen 4 Pikachu in Gen 5
>Badass Pikachu in Gen 6
>LMAO ALOLA Le Derpy Design Pikachu in Gen 7

>>32043369
Original Magearna was already in the movie. If anything it'll just be a random Japan only evenike shiny Diancie.

Marshadow is 2018.

I wonder if they will come with the moveset they had at said hat gen

First post, best post

>>32043288
That's arguable, if he used the same cap then its also Gen 2 fanservice.

>>32043369
>2018: Original Magearna
wut

>2019: Marshadow
>2020: Gen 8
Not necesarilly, Volcanion was distributed the same year Gen 7 came.

>>32043441
Did he actually evolve as a character? Everytime something like this is being discussed is Ashfags posting Ash's faux development but never Pikachu.

>>32043293

>>32043761
There's a form of Magearna that has the colors of a pokeball.

>>32043247
I already have two of these. I illegally imported my costume Pikachu via a method alternate to Pokebank and it was a Hoenn Pikachu with icicle crash.

That's too weird of a coincidence.

Fuck, I forgot about that, does it have a SM model?

>still thinking az floette will come back
its a never released event stuck on the coding of gen 6, this is not the first time masuda does something like that
pic extremely related

>>32043857
It sure does.

Kinda weird how it's still there. Will they ever release it? I don't know if they will...

>>32043840
NEVER EVER

I like this art of Pikachu.

>>32043869
At least the mon is available in that case. I'd like AZ's Floete more than Ash's pikachu.

I also hate how GF keeps all these artifacts in the games but couldn't be assed to let Notched Pichu and cosplay Pkachu out of their games.

On top of that...
>no new game this year
Jesus fucking Christ

>>32043961
People thought a new announcement was going to happen this month? SM is still very young.

>>32043961

It's too fucking early for another game, unless it's a remake.

>>32043961
if you get that little enjoyment out of video games that you need a new one this often, find a cheaper hobby

>>32043973
Shut up faggot. If the games are shit, they could at least release them faster. This is unacceptable.

>>32043978
People got to used to post Platinum pace.....is what I'd say if we didn't already have 2015 with no games.

>>32043987

Yeah because shitting out a new game every three months is totally healthy for the franchise

>>32043987

Unless Pokemon is the only thing you play, you have plenty of other games to play until the next Pokemon game comes out

>>32043319
>watch the movie six times if you want them all goyim

>>32043870
>Kinda weird how it's still there.
Not really. The Lock Capsule was still in BW, complete with both someone that'd open it and a way to transfer it to BW in the first place.

Eternal Floette was included in SM long before they chose to not distribute it in gen 6.

>>32044036
Or just buy a couple extra tickets. The kid tickets are like 3$

>>32043870
Pokemon games are notorious for having loads of leftover shit from older games in the coding. Hell, Cosplay Pikachu would have still been in the code if they didn't intentionally swap their ID numbers with Ash Pikachu (although it still probably would have been unobtainable).

>>32044149
>Hell, Cosplay Pikachu would have still been in the code if they didn't intentionally swap their ID numbers with Ash Pikachu
That explains >>32043825 then. A dick move tho.

>>32043369
What if Original Magearna form is just normal Magearna but the third/sequel/remake games allow you to "paint" it to look like the "original" pokeball one, showing the difference between the shiny one and the normal one?

>>32043925
In Azure Flute's case, it was probably as situation of not being able to figure out how/when to distribute that item after release. You do know that TPC doesn't have all these event set in stone with physical store before the games come out, right?

As for the bonus Electrorats, they're not suppose to be carted over because they're just "Pikachu, expect INTERESTING" to compensate for Pikachu being traditionally rare in comparison to how much media exposure it gets, so there's no real reason to bring them over.

>>32044036
>>32043371
>genning intensifies

>>32043247
Too bad pikachu will always be a Shitmon.

>>32043267
The gen is the hat, which, by itself is pointless. The Pikachu is the Genwun pandering.

>ree why does the mascot get more stuff
Gee, anon. Who could answer this one?

>>32043670
Yeah, why did they remove Volt Tackle, Pikachu's signature move, for Electro Ball, a move based on speed comparisons that a lot of other mons can learn?

>>32046097
Maybe they wanted Pikachu to have a mixed moveset. Plus despite Pikachu's amazing feats it's still a fragile mom and the damage it takes from using Volt tackle could end up taking it out of battle earlier than needed.

>>32045618
GF clearly stated that the arceus item was too complicated to understand how, when and where to use for the younger players to activate the event.

>>32043973

I'm not going ever buy SM, they are lazy shit, not to mention there was very little amount of new moves, move tutors ect. it's a mess...

>>32046238

is that real? when I was 7-8 y old I COULD find mewtwo ect. pretty much alone, and if not, with the help of tutorials in magazines

>>32046250
>very little move tutors

That's a standard for first games.

>>32046259

oh...this remembered me something, when I was kid, I could action replay azure flute and find arceus by myself... kek

>>32046259
>go into the cave you couldn't go before
>mewtwo
Wow, you must've been a real genius back then

>>32046277

this game was already way too confusing for little kids you know?

>>32043591
It's a unique form, so I doubt it.

Could follow AZ's Floette, though.

>>32043821
Isn't it just the shiny colors ?

Nope, shiny Magearna is almost identical to regular Magearna. The red one is a different form complete with its own shiny.

When I said artifacts I didn't mean the azure flute, I mean the actual artifacts we access in the games, like the Glaceon/Leafeon stones or most evolutionary items/incenses.

>so there's no real reason to bring them over.
To collect all kinds of pokemon? Which is, you know, the point of the franchise.

>>32043267
>>32043276

The only thing represented here is Gen 1 and the anime.

Yes, actually. You can actually seeing the sunglasses getting bigger while it evolves.
